October Burger 🎃

burger

Ingredients:

  • Ground beef (preferably 80/20 but I have 85/15)
  • Smoked gouda
  • Dill
  • Tomato
  • Onion
  • Full fat Greek yogurt (super thick)
  • Kewpie
  • Mustard
  • Vinegar
  • Black pepper
  • Sauce from yesterday
  • Papo seco

How to Prep Sauce from Yesterday:

  1. Cook onions in beef fond until somewhat deglazed.
  2. Add chicken stock.
  3. Reduce until noticeably thicker, add Dijon mustard to thicken further, and mount to thicken even further.
  4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Recipe:

  1. Prep burger sauce.
    1. Chop dill into manageable pieces.
    2. Add yogurt and Kewpie in a preferred ratio to a bowl. Add dill and black pepper.
    3. Add vinegar and/or mustard until it reaches desired acidity. Mix well.
  2. Slice tomato and onions.
  3. Say you are serving x people. Portion 2x burgers into 1cm thick patties, forming them to be the size of the papo seco when cooked.
  4. Season one side of the patties with salt and pepper, then add to a preheated pan.
  5. Sear well on one side, flip, and immediately add cheese. When the patty is just barely cooked, stack one on top of another and cook for a little longer.
  6. Transfer to waiting papo seco, closing with the lid to warm the bun and absorb juices.
  7. Add onions to the pan and sear, deglazing while keeping them somewhat crunchy, about 5-10 minutes at high heat.
  8. Remove patties from bun, spread burger sauce on the bottom bun, then place patties back. Add onions (use a generous amount).
  9. Drench with sauce from yesterday. Top with tomatoes and enjoy.
